(CercleFinance.com) – Séché Environnement announces that it has been chosen following an international call for tenders by Las Salinas, a subsidiary of Empresas Copec, for the decontamination of a 7 ha area in the heart of the seaside town of Viña del Mar, near Valparaiso in Chile.
According to Séché, this large-scale project confirms its globally recognized expertise as a player in environmental services.
Séché Environnement will be responsible for this project which should last around 3 years and will constitute the last stage of remediation of the land.
The site presents soil pollution with hydrocarbons located mainly between 5 and 8 meters deep linked to the industrial past of the area and in particular to the presence of previous oil activities.
